Sorry, I put it slightly misleadingly. What I meant is "unless you
know what to look for, apparently nothing happens". It took me some
time to realise that I could indeed see all the things you mention. It
is slightly unnerving, though, to wait for the time that NS takes to
quit and start up, and I thought I was getting more patient in my old
age!

With best wishes,
